A Final Farewell
 

I've done this list every year except for last and apologize in advance for anyone who gets irritated by it.

I'm sure there are many names I've unintentionally left out so please feel free to add them or any special memory, replay, story, or just the name of one or two you were fond of if you'd like.

A nice way to honor a horse we've lost this year is to make a donation in his or her name but I won't bombard anyone with links, etc., this time around. I'm sure everyone here knows the many wonderful places that could use financial help (even a small donation).

I hope next year the list will be shorter.

When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun.

... as well as the unamed... victims of fire, slaughter, of abuse and neglect... those who no one knows about, fell through the cracks or were never reported.

Sleep in peace.

Well done, My Miss Storm Cat. Thank you.

Thanks MMSC :{>::{>:

Princess Arabella lost her first baby, a colt by Tapit, in a tragic paddock accident on 12/21. RIP little guy.

Thanks for the list.

I remember thinking this had to be an act and it would end soon. It hasn't. You really have a love for these animals. You're very different and not at all in a bad way. This was very nicely done.

Thank you mmc. Its lovely to look back over names that time will likely forget at least one more time...

Thanks as always to MMSC for the annual appreciation..

Sadly, add Silver Train to the list. Colic victim returning to US Sunday.

Well done as always MMSC.:tro:

I wanted to quietly add in these names but I can't edit the original post.

It's awkward for me to thank you for the nice comments since I didn't do anything... all I did was put the list together... but I'm glad if it brought back a nice memory or two. I hope that we can think of them and smile and remember the great moments they gave us.

Very touching, thank you for putting this together.

That's my sistah! Always thinking of those around her~

Speaking of which...someone has a birthday coming up soon me thinks!

Thanks, MMSC. As usual it's quite a list, and each one is special to someone somewhere who actually put a hand on him or her.

Great job...didnt even know about alot if the big names..just sad

:tro:
BL's photos are so poignant, spectacular. From the heat of racing to the warmest, most intimate moments, like Marquetry and Irish Actress.
